What a delightful noon we had at Panchavati Gaurav. This pure veg restaurant serves us Gujrati as well as Rajasthani thali with ample amount of options to choose from. Each and every item was super tasty and delectable. So satisfied with the food and services.
Definitely going to visit here again.
Rating-5/5
One of the most iconic veg thali places in the city,Panchvati Gaurav has been serving its fine food to Punekar's for decades.
The thali consists of numerous gujrati and rajasthani dishes,different types of rotis and various drinks to go along with the food.Everything on the thali was really good and every dish had its own distinct flavour.This is an all you can eat thali which goes for ₹300 during lunch.
Veg thali at Panchvati gaurav won't leave you disappointed!
This gorgeous thali from Hotel Panchvati Gaurav Pune was brilliant. It consisted of various dishes starting with 4 chutney's, salad, papad, chinese wontons, dahi vada, 4 vegetables (mixed vegetables, paneer, black chana and potato) 2 types of Dal, two types of kadhi, puran Poli, roti and bajra roti as well as fruit custard and halwa. It also had chass, kairi panna, dal bhaat and biryani and everything was laden with pure ghee. One day I hope to finish the entire thali. Everything in thali was properly spiced and well cooked and there was no flaw in any dish. The place is nice and the service is just amazing.
Panchvati gaurav is a well known thali brand. They serve some really good and delicious pure vegetarian food in the form of a thali. Price of a thali is 340rs which looks fairly decent to me and in the usual range of thali prices. There's a rich spread of 2 sweets, 2 farsan, 4 sabjis, dal, rice etc. It is more than fulfilling food to have for a single person.
One of the best veg thali available in Pune, maybe the best!!.. The food was very delicious and heartwarming.. So much variety in the dishes. Panner sabji, Puram ki roti are a must try. Only small thing I felt, the service was a bit slow that could be maybe we reached late in the afternoon.
Anyway a must visit place for good Thali!!!
Located on the bustling Bhandarkar road. Parking is available for 2 and 4 wheelers. However, the parking space might be insufficient during peak hours. We were a group of 9 and visited here around 2.30pm during a weekday. Non peak hours so no rush and ample parking space was available.
Ambience - Quite good. Small and cosy.
Food and variety - Started with jal jeera, mattha with complimentary bottled water.
Main course, as u can in pic has Huge variety of dishes(kheer and gulabjam not in pic as it was served later).
Quality, quantity is awesome.
Gulabjam was hot, soft and had superb taste.
Service - Super fast.
Price - Quite pricey at 340₹ per thali.
Ambience is okayish. Food is hood but service is lightning fast. One of the very few good thali restaurants in Pune. Loved there food quality, overall a nice place baring ambience.
Great thali experience. Visited multiple times with family. Everything from welcome drink to the sweet dish is simply delicious!
5/5 for real authentic indian way of service, 'manuhaar'
5/5 for decent simple ambience.Nothing over the top.
One of the best Thalis in Pune..!!
Best to go at Lunchtime (with min. 15 mins waiting)
Summer is the best season when Aamras is available and few more delicious sweets...
Best to spend Family time ;)
Taste 10/10
Ambience 8/10
Price 9/10
I absolutely love this place !!! The food is finger licking good, the staff is so well trained and attentive and it’s just a beautiful experience on the whole.
A mix of Gujarati - Rajasthani food in the thali, lots of options and I can practically almost never finish my entire Thali.
P.S : They make the BEST CHAAS !!!
I can never get enough 🤪😋😋
Authentic Gujarat and Rajasthani food is served here which taste good. 👍 Staff is also good. Ambience is also fine. 👍 Complete package in one thali.
I had been to Karve Nagar's branch (which is closed now). The Thali has varieties of Rajasthani food item. It's taste delicious. Proper Maharaja Thali, infact you feel like Maharaja after eating so much.
This place has got really good ambiance, food quality is very delicious especially South Indian food and service is up to the mark. Staff is eco friendly if you visit this place don't forget to take desserts gulaabjamun. I'll surely vist this place very soon!

Vegetarian Thalis. The more places I visit and the more non-Vegetarian, non-Indian items I try, it often happens that I crave what can be described as Soul Food for me; Homemade vegetarian food.
Panchavati Gaurav on Bhandarkar Road is a place I have been passing almost everyday since I was a schoolkid. Back then, it was throwing a tantrum for Shreeji's chocolate chip Ice Cream, in college it was Bipin's Vadapav and now I seldom eat at places closer to home :) But I remember never willingly going to a Thali place (unless Dad dragged us to Asha Dining hall once a month) although there are plenty of options in and around Deccan.
But now, I find myself inclining more towards food I used to consider a last resort when it came to going out with family. So there I was, happily prancing over to Bhandarkar Road to have my Sunday lunch, with nothing else planned for the day.
Panchavati Gaurav has Thalis that combine two Indian cuisines - Gujarati and Rajasthani. Although I love Gujarati snacks - Dhoklas, Theplas and Khakras, was never a big fan of their meals as they tend to be on the sweeter side and my knowledge and love for Rajasthani is limited to Laal Maas and Dal Bati Churma.
The Thali feels intimidating, but if I can finish it, anyone can :) Too bad mom wasn't there to shed tears of pride and later blackmail me into eating an extra chapati at home cause 'Ghari khaycha asla ki barobar bhuk naste'.
More than 20 items on your plate - some of them Gujarati, some Rajasthani and some, Maharashtrian (the mini Puranpoli is something you can't miss!)
Two variants of Daal - a Gujarati sweet one and the other a spicy and tangy Rajasthani one. The mini Kachoris look and taste even spectacular. Ah, and the Dahi Vada..only item I forced myself to have a second serving of. Gujarati kadhi, 2 phulkas, Gud-Bhakri (again, yum!), 4 different sabjis, Rasmalai (!!), a welcome drink and buttermilk. And yes, rice as well, which I didn't taste. (What? I finished everything which was initially served. That counts.)
I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with calling this new discovery of mine an ideal Sunday brunch (well, especially after a long Saturday night :) )
We went there to have lunch. Ambiance is good and dining area was spacious. They greeted us warmly. Service was courteous and they pay special attention to you and make you feel like home.
We ordered unlimited thali. It had jaljeera, buttermilk, rava dhokla, papad, 4 types of chutneys, 4 types of vegetables, salad, pickle, puri, fulka, bajre ki roti with ghee and jaggery, dal, kadhi, rice, aamras(available only in summer season) and gulab jamun.
Everything in the thali tasted good and the best thing is that everything is unlimted and you can have as much as you want.
Always great experiance having a fullfledged thali here..!! Chaas, meethi daal and kadhi is my personal favourite..!!
Ambience - 5/5
Service -5/5

One of the best thalis in town... esp the Bhandarkar road branch.. i love all their dishes and esp the masala rice and kadhi... they have a huge variety.. and the best part of the place is its staff who are so courteous and take special interest in serving u multiple helpings... the cherry on the cake is the aamras they serve in the mango season... unlimited servings of it... and its genuine aamras.. not canned... must try for all thali lovers...
The ambience in this outlet is pretty good..has spacious seating area and parking space available.
We visited for the afternoon meal..so the lunch started with welcome jaljeera drink.
The starters were papad, idli and daal samosa (my favourite) with salad and 2 chutneys!
Then they served phulkas with kadhi, paneer masala, sprouts sabji, aloo in a green gravy, and gujraati daal. Also there was dry cabbage sabji.
Then dessert was served!.. gulaabjamun, moong dal ka halwa (felt too oily?!) and purnachi poli (I did not really like it). Options for rice were plain and masala rice (it was spicy and full of veggies and cut up balls of dough).
It had very nice taste and did not make me so full like other thali chains do.
My favorite place for veg thali. They serve best gujrati or you can call Rajasthani thali..staff is so humble best ambience and best for family you can take whole family
They serve unlimited i had a lot of aam ras.. quantity is so much you can't finish..its best home made like food and have lot of variety..large parking space.
best rajasthani and gujarati food in pune. Kadhi is just sublime... if you love rajasthani food then this is the place... ate mostly kadhi and paneer sabji.. jalebi was good, crunchy.. aamaras was not so great when i visited their branch in manik baug.. and it was disappointed when you specially go there for amaras.
One of my favourite place. Every foodie needs to try this Rajasthani thali. The food is delicious. The staff is very courteous. The pricing is absolutely perfect. Their quality has remained the same even after so many years. This place is a delight for the vegetarians.
I had ordered a parcel from Panchavati as I did not want my mother to cook on Mother’s Day. I was a bit anxious- to not make the special feel go sour if the food did not turn out good. However, The food was exceptionally good- rajasthani style, hot n statisfying. Thank you for making my Day!
Please maintain the same quality for next orders as well.

Visited this place for lunch today, it's air conditioned and the interiors are quite decent. Initially nobody seemed to enthusiastic to acknowledge our arrival and we had to remind them after 20mins for a table, plate was big with 7 bowls, papad, roti, bhakri, samosa, dahi wada.
We were served paneer masala, chavli, aloo rassa, one dal and one sweet dal, kadhi, aamras, moong halva.
Service was quick and waiters were sharp, now starting with the must try items :
1. Dahi wada (4.4/5)
Not a fan of dahi wada but the one here was very tasty much more because of the sweet and tangy dahi.
2. Chavli usal (4.1/5)
Very tasty and neither spicy nor sweet, probably had 3 bowls of this..
3. Moong halwa (4/5)
Nicely made not overly sweet and served with loads of ghee, quite heavy id say 2 spoonfuls were enough.
4. Tangy dal (4/5)
Tasty and tangy, tasted the best with plain rice and ghee.
The paneer masala was bit too greasy although the paneer was soft, maybe could do with being a bit creamier than plain greasy masaledar.
The sweet dal was as the name says bit too sweet for a dal and didn't really taste that good
Kadhi was also subpar so can skip this one
Coming to the aamras, was probably tinned and not alphonso(hapus) tasted alright
Now coming to the bill 1360 for 4 so that's 340 per head, much better than expected considering they did not charge extra for servings of sweets, and the nice interiors
I'd visit again someday, value for money indeed.

One of the Finest Places to Dine in Pune if you are a fan of trying out Thali Restaurants. They serve pure Rajasthani Food and not to forget the food has a super awesome taste.
The Thali begins with two types of welcome drink out of which one is buttermilk and the other can be any other type of juice or drink. The Thali contains four types of vegetables which include dry as well as Gravy vegetables. Then in case of Indian bread, you have the option of normal Roti, biscuit roti, paratha not to forget with lots of ghee on top of them.
They also served fresh and hot Dal Bati Churma which is the specialty of Rajasthani Food. In sweet you get one type of sweet which can be anything such as kheer, Gulab Jamun etc. Also, you are provided with accompaniments such as Papad, Mini Samosa, Mini Pakodas, Yellow Dhokla etc (two of such accompaniments along with papad). You are also provided with a fresh salad of Cucumber, Tomatoes, and onions along with your Thali.
Lastly, in the Rice variety, they serve you Plain Steamed Rice, Pulav, Jeera Rice etc (It is up to you to select). And lastly, everything is unlimited so you can have to the fullest. A must try Restaurant if you are in Pune.
No visit to Pune would be complete without visiting what is the most posh and culturally richest part of Pune-The Deccan Gymkhana.
Panchvati Gaurav is one of the gems of Deccan, when you stay in Pune and pass it by everyday, you dont realize its culinary importance. It is only when you step inside and soak their hospitality and the language of food, that you realize what you have been missing!
The menu for their Gujrati and Rajasthani Thallis are vast but everything is prepared in desi ghee! Yes the present superfood according to goras!
You can eat as much as you want,at least when I was there in Sept.2014, so I dont know if they have another policy in place now!
As my former boss, used to say, after we'd have our lunch thallis at Panchvati- 'Now we can only go and sleep'! Amen!
You're welcome.
There are many Gujarati and Rajasthani restaurants or outlets available in Pune
Compared to all other restaurants this restaurant lacks behind many qualities that other restaurants of this cuisine possess
We visited the Deccan branch of Panchavati Gaurav about 2 weeks ago. The ambiance was pretty decent and service was quick. Courteous staff and great food, this place is pretty underrated. We visited on a Sunday night, yet the place was almost empty.
Coming to the particulars of the food, the small kachoris were delicious. The dhokla was just okay. I liked the Dal Baati as well. Undhiyu was the hero of all dishes. The rasmalai was also okay and could have been better. Overall, a good meal.
I would recommend for lovers of Rajasthani/ Gujarati food. And for those Thali lovers looking for alternatives to Sukanta, this place could be worth a try.
There are times you get to enjoy finer luxuries of life. What then is intriguing is how going back to the basics can bring you more happiness. :) Not a vegetarian myself, but for the ample friends of mine who stay away from meat this is a best place for us to visit. A wholesome lunch and even better if you prefer your meal to be on the sweeter side. Experts may defer, but I sense that they bring you food from Gujrat / Rajasthan border straight to Pune. Oh the the courteous staff ! - certainly embellishes the tidy ambience. The food is served at right temperature, and the kitchen churns out fresh items continuously. Veggies have a Gujrati flavour while the sides have a typical Rajasthani ingredients. Sweets undoubtedly stand out. - Are they serving Basundi today ? - you have a stroke of luck!
A veg meal can be this tasty ! -and that comes from a meat eater ..so now take a guess ! Needless to say a Must try!
Yesterday, on the occasion of dessera we, the flat mates which are from different regions of India, decided to celebrate this eve. So we finally ended up with dinner at panchavati gaurav
Food: Rajasthani thali
It consists of
1) 4 sabji :- aalu mater, mater paneer, bhendi and ghatee ki sabji
2) 3 daal :- normal plain daal, aamthi and khadhi
3) sweet :- fruit shrikhand
4) Rajasthani special :- daal bhati
5) days special :- sheera
6) rosted papad
7) salad
8) round khachori
9) puri
10) pulke with ghee
11) bhajre ki Roti with ghee and jaggery(gud)
12) 3 chutney
13) jaljeera drink
14) butter milk
Service : better but can be best
Staff : typical Rajasthani and Gujrathi which force people to eat more and more which I love very much 😍
Must visit specially Vegiterian
I've had their thalis at the restaurant a few times and decided to take half parcel of the Thali as this time around. This included about 12 pieces of rotis, three different varieties of sabzis, dal, rice, dhokla, gulab jamun and even khichdi.
The plus point about about the parcel was the quantity which was sufficient for about 3-4 people. The taste of all dishes were quite good and the paneer, khichdi and dal were the dishes that stood out. At a little less than 500 bucks this was quite the value for money deal considering the quantity and quality of food.
One of the best places to have Thali.. Menu is huge n filling, had been there twice, but my earlier experience of dining here was much better than the second one.
Recently there is price hike, which feels heavy on pocket.
Apart from cost, food is really good and unlimited, what I like the most is the farsan items, sandwich dhokla and Mini samosa both are tangy and well spiced.
Ambience is rich, neatly arranged tables with silver crockery, neat and clean. Staff is also soft spoken and alert. Do try atleast once.😊
Been here twice. Firat visit three years ago and today was the second time. Thali has enough options but I must say the quality three years ago was much better. Prices are also hiked/ increased. I guess we get very good thalis at many other thali restaurants. But I also want to mention that the service was great
Best is unlimited thali i love it serviving is quick i love it had been there three time and won the bet with friends will go soon for next bet
My favourite thali place especially when you are ravenous. The spread is soo exhaustive and delicious. I have been having this thali since my childhood and the best part is the taste of any of the items right from the dal to the kadhi has not changed even a bit over the years.
Food is truly the best portrayal of culture and you don't have to look elsewhere if there's Pachavati Gaurav around. Love the perfect balance of rich the flavours and the simplicity of service. Love the people here!
Warning! Go with an absolutely empty stomach to make the best use of the unlimited food service ;)
This place is situated on Bhandarkar road. The food is good. Loved the bhendi and unlimited aamras. Service is fast.Ambience is ok like a thali restaurant. I found the bit over pricy. Still not bad to taste it once.
This place is similar like other thali places in pune. It serves majorly rajashtani and gujarati food. Service was prompt. I liked their aamras.
Its a good place for vegetarian and thaali lovers.
A good family place to dine out.. lot of variety of delicious food.. sweet was ultimate as had Aamruss.. Parking was also available... being Saturday we got immediate place to seat...staff was excellent and was attending personally.. must visit place but go with empty stomach..
Great food, fast service! Unlikely good experience at the place. Being a gujju myself, I am always skeptic of Gujarati thali. But the food here definitely exceeded my expectation.
Would love to visit again sometime..

I genuinely Love to have Gujarati / Rajasthani food, But since i don't have a big appetite .. for Thali case .. I normally choose the Take Away option. Same happened few days back when I was going through Bandarkar road & landed up this place. I planned to have a parcel option. So when we reached this place, I was about to place my order, that I found a guy waiting for me with me a glass of Jaljeera. It was basically a welcome drink & I was like .. WOW .. great start. I somehow started digging the menu card & after some time I decided to go with Half Parcel. The order was placed & I started exploring the place. This place is very hygienic. Staff soft spoken & co-operative. & I got the order Hot, Fresh & well packed in 10 mins. It was like .. super quick. When I went Home & started taking out each & every item, I found that we require 4 people to have this. So it was a good decision to go for Half Parcel. Each & every item was well packed & tasted very great. The best part of the thaali was 'Aam Russ'. Somehow you feel nice when you get an 'Aam Russ' in your plate. Right from Fulke to Bajre ki roti to Methi thepla every thing tasted great. Even the steam rice had a soothing smell which made it interesting to have. In Short it was a great great great experience. I loved the food quality as well as Quantity. I wish Panchavati Gaurav all the best & keep the good work up. Will revisit this place to have a dine in some day.
Cheers,
Prathamesh
I am not a fan of too many dishes on one thali restaurants as the plate is so full that you hardly get to enjoy the things that you like in order to finish what is already served.
Neverthless, most of the items on this thali are very tasty, including jal-jeera, dal (a little sweet but I like it that way), rotis with ghee, fruit custard and Gajar halwa. Items that I did not like were Undiyo (Gujarati mix vegetable sabji), dry cabbage sabji (too homely), mini-samosa (why should it be there on this thali?).
Overall, the meal was good but I was too full at the end of it.
Rajasthani food, Its a good thali option but some how the taste was certainly not what i experienced in mumbai. Will try another visit. Still little bit costly than other good thali restaurant.
The food quality is superb and so is the taste , extreamly happy with the ambience .
The rass malai is simply out of the world 👍😍 . Overall and awesome experience
Visited this place for the first time on a saturday evening with my family expecting huge rush and long waiting time. But to my surprise there was no waiting at all. We were lucky enough to get the table without waiting, as I had heard that it is a very busy place and one does have to wait long to get a table.
There is limited parking space for vehicles and expect some difficulty to find parking space especially for 4 wheelers during rush.
The place is not as big as other Thali hotels eg.Durvankur and hence there might be long waiting time during rush days. It is advised to book a table prior to you reaching the hotel.
Service is prompt, polite and courteous.
Thali has a good variety of Rajasthani and Gujrati food.
The ambience is very good and serene compared to other hotels in this category. The price does justify the food, service and the ambience that you get.
Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend anyone to visit this place.
Lovely Gujrati cum Rajsthani thali - excellent spread.
Nice ambience.
Good service.
Centrally located in DG area.
Parking available.
Enjoy.
Pretty good food if you are a Gujarati. Their full tiffin is also good and serves around 6-7 people. I have tried their tiffin service too which is without farsan and sweets but that's not value for money. Ambience of the place is great.

This is a good thali place in Pune serving unlimited food and sweets. The food is a combination of Maharashtrian and Gujrati type. The service is good and the seating is ok. Valet parking is not available. Although, you easily get to park in the lanes nearby. The दाल and कढी they serve are the best and you cannot miss those. In the sweets, moong dal halwa is also extremely tasty. Overall, an excellent place for family functions. :-)
Fantastic food and great service. We visited on the occasion of kelvan to my brother in law. Quite specious. Very quick service & worth visiting.
Food is good. Service is good too. Tasty and good quality. Difficult to finish all that is in the plate. Would recommend to everyone to try it. Have been to their outlets in Nashik but this one in Pune is very good. Much better than their first one in Nashik
One of the best thalis . Very fast service and mouth watering food . Khaman dhoklas are very soft and delicious . Pocket friendly . Only problem is less parking space .
I went here this last weekend for lunch with a friend. I really loved the entire experience. The food was amazing and the thali had such unbelievable variety. The service was par excellence and the waiters showed such home-like hospitality that it was hard to refuse the food even when I was feeling too full for more. This was my first experience with Gujarati/Rajasthani food, and I am seriously impressed. I'll be going to Panchvati Gaurav again very soon.
This place has never let us down and we keep visiting it again and again!
After trying lots of 'Maharashtrian Thali' speciality places around Pune, can surely say that this is one of the best place and highly recommended to everyone.
Service is quick and courteous.
My favourite thali restaurant so far
.....the dahi wada is just classic ....the sweets r awesome ....sitting is good and parking is available in nearby vicinity .....a sure place to visit
Happy with this place. Courteous staff. Manager / owner is very warm. Good fresh food. Taste wise can do better but over all pretty nice. Plus they have vallet now.
Best thali I have eaten in Pune. Great food. Tastes good and healthy the same time. During mango season, I loved their aamras. Love their kadhi. I feel a raise in my appetite level whenever I visit this place.
Would recommend all food lovers to be here. Overall a very nice experience. A bit hard to reach as its in Deccan.
Ppl looking for unlimited food then this is your place....😍
One of the best THALI providing hotels in Pune, and I would rate it much more than rest in case of ambience, hygiene , food quality.
There are so many dishrag that by looking at your plate half of your tummy will be full...😁
A must visit place for THALI loving ppl...
Food: 5/5
Service: 4.5/5
Ambience : 4.5/5
This review is based on a single visit.. And yes, we had a very good experience !
A lot of varieties of food in the thali.. and almost all of them were delicious.. except the fact that they don't have a good idea about Daal-baati thing ! It wasn't at all close to the real taste and charm of that plate!
But other food items could really cover up for this..
Enjoyed the food and ambience with a group of friends!
But honestly.. I like Nashik's Panchvati Hotel (the original one ) more..!
But still.. you might find this one as a good option in pune !
This is the place you must visit on chaturti. Modak are mouthwatering. Aam ras is 10/10.
Well most people will compare this place with sukanta and I would recommend you to visit here instead of long long waitings at sukanta.
Service 5/5
taste 4/5
ambiance 4/5
rates are high but its ok to visit once in a month (espl on chaturti)
Out of many Thali restaurant in Pune i like panchavati gaurav the most.
Huge thali...nice ambience...food was great
Quick prompt service.
Overall if you are really hungry it is The place to be.
Take away mini thali is also good for one person.
unlike other thali restaurant where you find a lot of noise and feel irritated this is way better.
Had this amazing thali from panchavati gaurav. The food served was hot and tasty. Thali was served along with jaljira drink and glass of butter milk. The service was good and timely. Nice experience and will visit again.
Very nice food and good variety. It is always better to go for lunch and that too wothoit breakfast.
Good rajastani food. Good service, quality food and friendly polite staff
Pure Traditional Veg Thali with Good service. Very Clean and Fresh Place.
Nice place. Never knew it existed till my better half found it in zomato! Authentic Rajasthan dishes with more than 18 preparations unlimited food at Rs.330 per Thali, it makes for a sumptuous lunch or dinner!
Good Rajasthani thali to eat. 300 per plate and you can have lot of it. Bit small place with few tables. On road parking which is also full most of time. Good to try.
Very nice place for lunch. Loved the food variety and taste. Also the quantity is more than enough. If you're looking for a good afternoon meal in Kothrud, this is a great place.
Good quality vegetarian food in kothrud area
Nice place for family dine. A very delicious one. Waiters are not reluctant to serve as we go on asking them to.
First time I did order food through uber eats...And resto. Didn't disappointed. Appreciate quality food from panchwati gaurav kothrud but little disappointed bcoz they stop taking online order through zomoto n uber eats
Very good veg thali, good service
Good food.. Wide variety.. And staff is nice..
